Nancy Pelosi ‘done nothing’ in Taiwan

Professor Joe Siracusa of Curtain University says there are likely to be more consequences from US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, starting with a breakdown in communications.

“We are currently getting the Australian treatment in the US. China doesn’t want to talk to us. It just cuts off all kinds of communication, all kinds of security and crime dialogue, climate change.” He told Sky News Australia…

“The consensus within the United States is that the trip was unnecessary, arbitrary and reckless.”

Prof Syracuse said he believed Pelosi had “achieved nothing” and had no clear point for the visit.

“She created a nightmare for both President Biden and President Xi,” he said.

“She accomplished nothing and caused people a lot of trouble.”
